A new type of animal control system and a new method of use of the animal
control system is presented for controlling small, wild animals and
rodents without killing or maiming. The control system is in the form of
a portable kit that includes a launching device, a plurality of
thermoplastic hollow projectiles, a supply of a natural animal control
agent for loading into the projectiles, and a means for transferring and
storing the control agent. The method of use of the control system
involves filling the projectiles with the control agent and then sealing
the projectiles prior to loading the projectiles into the launching
device. The launching device is then aimed at an area that is being
controlled by the animal and then the projectiles are discharged from the
gun so as to disperse the control agent about the area being controlled.
The control agent causes a biological reaction in the animals and rodents
when they detect the scent of the control agent. The biological reaction
causes a fear and intimidation response in the brain of the animals and
rodents, such that they will voluntarily and permanently vacate the nest
out of fear for its life and of its young. The control agent is a urine,
marking gland oil or a combination of oil and urine, from a known
predator of the animal or rodent.
